I have quite a lot of experience in using Twitter for both personal and business use however, I decided to delete my accounts a few years ago for personal reasons as I felt I had far too many social media platforms. When I used it for my business, I had tweetdeck so I could see the reach of my posts and schedule posts throughout the day without having to log in every time I wanted to post something.
My establishment has a twitter account and I have posted on it before, sharing learning from my early childhood centre and updates on the GLOW blog. I have retweeted information I felt would be of interest to my service users and used hashtags to influence the audience visiting my account and also to find other relevant information or accounts. I have tagged our local authority in posts so they can see the work that is happening in our centre and then they can retweet it to their followers.
I do like that you can follow people or places of interest such as the Care Inspectorate or Education Scotland and I feel it's a quick and easy platform to access information. However I feel the feed can become really busy and, because it moves quickly, you might miss something - so I can see the benefit of setting up lists of accounts you are particularly interested in.
